The victim, identified Friday as Reed E. Carlsen, got into a fight with two men who were sitting in a vehicle outside the station waiting to buy a shotgun from a seller, police said.

Police said Carlsen walked up to the van and asked why they were eyeballing him. They exchanged words, and then Carlsen threw a traffic cone into the van. He walked away and then returned. There were more words.

In clear view of the station, police said the van's passenger got out and fired his gun three times.

Carlsen last lived in a building near 64th Street and Lincoln Avenue, where neighbors said his conduct had been violent and unpredictable.
